On the 18th day of Nature
when the sky was burning blue,
we set out on our venture,
with a mystery or two.
We had maps and wondros
chartings,
we had sandwiches and tea,
we had lovey dovey partings,
said Goodbye till ten of three,
Then we gathered at the station,
and we set off on the track,
we discussed our situation ,
and we quickly went on back,
'Cause we all were scared
and sleepy,
and the night was coming on,
Since the forest looked so
creepy,
we decided to stay
home.
